1024 W Ashley Avenue

An extraordinary deepwater retreat on the coveted west end of Folly Beach - where river, marsh, and ocean views converge in a setting that is simply unmatched. 

Positioned on a pristine homesite overlooking the Folly River, this one-of-a-kind property captures sweeping vistas that stretch from tranquil marshlands to the Atlantic Ocean, with the northern tip of Kiawah Island visible in the distance. Located at the western edge of the island near the entrance to the county park, the home offers a level of privacy rarely found on Folly, surrounded not necessarily by rooftops, but by water, wildlife, and protected natural beauty. 

Custom-built with intention and artistry, the home was inspired by the iconic Villa Margarita on South Battery and reflects a timeless Charleston aesthetic.

Rich architectural details include pecky cypress siding, handcrafted ironwork, and heart pine flooring, all thoughtfully integrated to create a warm yet sophisticated coastal residence. Also featuring a new roof and water heater, and recent window replacements within the past 10 years! 

Spanning three levels, the home is designed to maximize its unparalleled vantage point, with breathtaking views from nearly every room. Offering 4 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, and a flexible additional space ideal for a fifth bedroom or office, the layout balances comfort and function. An elevator services the main living levels, while expansive porches on each floor invite seamless indoor-outdoor living. 

Complete with a private deepwater dock, this property is a rare opportunity to own a true legacy home on Folly’s most sought-after stretch - where luxury, privacy, and natural beauty come together in perfect harmony.
